It has been one crazy winter. Hasn’t it? Having a winter portrait session in South Jersey is a truly captivating experience. The landscape transforms into a scenic wonderland, painting a picturesque backdrop for capturing the beauty of the moment.

The relationship you have with your mother is probably the best relationship you will ever have in your life. The relationship sparks your future relationships, as well as it affects how you will choose to parent one day!

A Typical Shooting Star Family Shoot
A Typical Shooting Star Family Photo Shoot
Here's another family shoot that was done last fall. I told you I was behind on getting things up on this blog, eh? This family came all the way from Medford, Burlington County. We started at the studio, here at Shooting Star in Salem County, South Jersey and then we went to a beautiful scouted location that is near my home. I love all my locations! These are scouted for their light, their elements. I love rustic, I love barn-styled shoots, I love nature!
